flat out no holds barred in yur face fresh

it is as good as it sounds - the work in book is sick and the pics are spot on
Former graffiti writer and founding member of the Montana Writer Team, Ruedione retired the spraycan some years back, picking up a camera in its place.

For Backflashes — Graffiti Tales, he’s captured covert graffiti missions in his signature black and white style from Hamburg, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Manheim and Dortmund Germany; New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the USA; Amsterdam and Zwolle in the Netherlands; Naples and Salermo Italy; Sao Paulo, Brazil and Santiago de Chile.

These pictures portray not only the forms, letters and characters, but also of the moments, emotions and impressions that are integral to the act of writing graffiti. The raw inspiration, the adrenaline and the emotional weight of these artful, yet illegal acts are captured faithfully by a member of the cognoscenti.
